The Tibetan plateau, the highest region on earth, stretches from the Karakorum in the west to the rugged jumble of ranges and river gorges in the east; the Himalaya twists around its southern border and the Kunlun ranges on its north-west boundary. Within this area lies a unique and diverse geography that is matched by an enduring and dynamic Tibet culture and tradition.

Existing as an independent Buddhist Kingdom for centuries, Tibet is today an integral part of China and officially administered under Tibet Autonomous Region. Divided into four different regions based on their slightly varying culture, location, and the local dialects, Tibet covers the east, west and north-west boundary respectively.

Due to its inaccessibility, severe environment, and powerful Buddhist culture many travelers, researchers and explorers pull in towards this unique and fantastic land. The blend of an ancient culture with a rugged landscape makes the experience of Tibet exceptional.
